- Title
Iraq como colonia iraní: las finanzas internacionales como arma geopolítica.
- Authors
de Castro García, Andrés; Ferrillo, Vincenzo
- Abstract
Following the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the de-Baathification process, the Shia sectors of Iraqi society managed to consolidate their power. That enabled the beginning of the Iranian colonization of Iraq, which is being strengthened in phases. This article offers an adaptation of Mearsheimer's contributions of war, blackmail, bait and bleed and, especially, bloodletting as one of the keys to Iran's multifaceted approach to its claimed regional hegemony. This is complemented by a study of the economic aspect of the situation, both the economic sanctions and the devaluation of the Iraqi currency, and the consequences this may have for the US in the region.
